Ex-Gov. Crittenlen Talks.
Special to the World.
ST. I.iLii, MIt., Jan. 29.-Ex
(Gov. ('rittenden said in Kansas
City to-day, when intervi.weid in
regard to the meeting Senators Vest
and i.c krell haid with President
C(levelaid when trying to secIurt
him a foreign mission: "Ilad I
been a Missouri Senator and pre
setntedi the name of a friendl for an
alpointment and r'eceived such a
response as M. (Cle.velaind made to
Cockrell, I would have promptly
asserted my Senatornial dignity and
would have liven the 'President to
understand that unless hie retracted
the slanders lie hadl expressed
against my friend lie might expect
war from ime. I say I would have
done these things, and I would,
had I been a Senator, unless I went
to the President under the mask of I
hypocricy, and went there to pre
vent my friend's appointment in
stead of to secure it.
"I want the President to under
stand that not the chiefest jewel
within his gift would iiuce me to,
! apologize for any act of my adniin
isntratioin as Governor of M issour:.
What I did I diit f,r what I deeo.
ed for the public good, for the
peace and vwell-being of the people
of this State. As a matter of fact,
I knew nothing of tile sentding of
Ford to locate James until two
days after he had gone, and when
Fordl's first dispatch, in which lihe
said that lie was with James. came
to me, I was completely in the
dark as to its meaning, and was.
compelled to telegraph Conunmmis
sioner Craig for an explanation.
There were some minor details
which have never been published
and which never will be. Wh(n
the end of the James business had
come I burned every bridge behird
me. I had letters andl papers
which would have implicated many
of the leading peolle of the State,
Ibut on the last day of imy term I
hurled every one of them--every
one. Those papers, had they been
prinited, would have done irrepar
able injury to many and good to
none. Theiy would hare aenusedl
strife and bickerings innumerable
and scandals without number.
Therefore, in the interest of the
State of Missouri, I burned them.
I am now going down to the grave
Sand with me will go that history.
My lips are as firmly sealed now,
as they will be when death puts its
final stamp upon them."-N. Y.
